Chapter 306: Tens of Thousands of Military Uniforms
What Li Yu'an wanted to say next was stopped by Liang Chongyue's eyes. He lowered his head and walked forward silently.
Liang Chongyue used the light from the torch to look at this passage that he had never been to before.
Bloody handprints can be seen on both sides of the passage, which shows that the deceased must have suffered great pain before death.
The bloody handprints along this path led all the way to the dark distance, and looked even scarier than the path we just took.
After walking through a horrifying tunnel, the area ahead suddenly became larger, but the smell of blood also became stronger.
Liang Chongyue's nose was much more sensitive than others. This disgusting smell seemed to have eyes and went straight into her nose.
The smoke made her head feel dizzy and she felt like vomiting.
Liang Chongyue leaned his right hand on the stone wall, pulled off the kettle hanging on the sword box, opened it and poured it on his face.
Liang Chongyue felt a little clearer when the cold water splashed on her face. When she turned around, she found that not only her, but even Ping'an felt weak and looked like they were about to fall.
Liang Chongyue splashed the water in the kettle on his face.
After Ping An came out of the cave, as soon as she stepped into here, she felt dizzy and exhausted, as if a mountain was pressing on her and was about to crush her.
Suddenly, a downpour of rain fell from the sky, pulling him out of the chaos.
Ping An just woke up and opened his eyes, he met the serious eyes of His Highness. He immediately stood up straight and wondered if he had made a mistake just now.
Liang Chongyue bought a pair of nasal plugs that could automatically filter out the foul smell and stuffed them directly into Ping'an's nose. As for Li Yu'an, Liang Chongyue stuffed a water bottle into his hand and ignored him.
"This smell is the stench of a fermented corpse. If you can't stand it, just pour water on yourself. If the water runs out, I still have some."
After His Highness stuffed something into Ping'an's nose, all he could smell was a faint floral scent. In a trance, he seemed to have returned from this haunted place to the Queen's backyard, where the puppy was still chasing butterflies.
"Master..."
Li Yuan was holding the kettle in his hand and wanted to say something else, but Liang Chongyue waved his hand:
"As I said, I can tell right from wrong. Sir, please stop wasting time and let's go."
Liang Chongyue had already guessed what Li Yu'an wanted to say from his expression just now.
This matter must have nothing to do with him, and he is still unaware of it.
Liang Chongyue didn't care whether he knew about it or not. Since she separated from Li Yu'an when she was young, she hadn't heard from him for a long time and thought he had died on the way to seek medical treatment.
He has always been like this and has never pleased her.
As the cave grew bigger, the three small torches were no longer enough. There were sounds and shadows constantly passing over their heads, which should be animals like bats.
Liang Chongyue saw many animal corpses along the way. The white tiger she had just killed was nothing among the pile of corpses. She saw a bigger one here.
It seems that the two ape-men not only ate humans, but also went out to hunt animals in the mountains when there was no one to eat them.
"Master, that thing is right in front. I didn't know there were monsters in this cave before. I don't know if that thing has been destroyed by the ape-man."
Liang Chongyue looked in the direction of Li Yu'an's finger and vaguely saw a rare light in the dark cave.
The bright moonlight shines through the cracks in the cave, as if illuminating something.
"Let's go, I hope sir won't let me down."
Li Yu'an was still walking in front, Liang Chongyue followed behind her, and Ping'an walked behind them with Chengzhao on his back.
The place illuminated by the moonlight was on a low stone slope. Liang Chongyue took a few steps closer and saw seven or eight corpses lying on it.
Liang Chongyue stood where she was and did not move forward. She had already seen that these corpses were wearing the uniforms of the Daxia soldiers, and the soldier at the top had the Xiang family's military emblem on his shoulder.
Li Yu'an didn't notice that His Highness had stopped until a long sword with a golden glow was placed across his neck, and then he suddenly stopped.
"Master, I have never lied to you. The evidence is right there on that short hill."
The slope was not high, only reaching a person's waist. Ping'an followed behind His Highness and naturally saw the obvious Xiang family military emblem on the blood-soaked military uniform under the moonlight.
Ping'an felt that the air around him was not only filled with a foul odor, but also with a murderous aura. He consciously and silently took a step back, so that His Highness wouldn't have to worry about accidentally hurting him if he took action.
"Li Yu'an, do you know what clothes these people are wearing?"
The Xiang family's military emblem is known to everyone in Daxia, and Liang Chongyue doesn't believe that he doesn't know it.
If he dared to say no now, Liang Chongyue would chop him to pieces.
Li Yu'an felt the chill brought by the sharp blade against his neck and did not dare to move rashly. There was a strong smell of blood on it, which came from the two monsters just now.
"Your Highness, I know that is the Xiang family's military emblem. Who in Daxia wouldn't recognize that dazzling military emblem?"
The magic sword that Liang Chongyue had placed across his neck moved a little as she walked, but it moved closer to the back of his neck.
"Ever since the people from the northern border kidnapped the deposed empress and discovered Prince Li's private soldiers in the mountains, Prince Li has secretly dispatched people to Bazhou to hastily produce tens of thousands of Great Xia military uniforms, each bearing the Xiang family's insignia."
Bazhou......
If Liang Chongyue remembered correctly, Bazhou was the fiefdom of his eldest brother, and the name Bazhou was given by his eldest brother when he was drunk on his birthday.
Although the scumbag father thought the name was indecent that day, he didn't say anything when he saw that his eldest brother was drunk like a pile of mud and needed five or six eunuchs to carry him away.
"I know that Bazhou is the fief of His Royal Highness Prince Shu, so I have been investigating this matter since I seized a batch of military uniforms bearing the Xiang family's military emblem."
"Go on, keep talking."
Li Yu'an could feel the sharp blade on his neck had cut through his skin. His blood must have mixed with the blood left on the swords by the two monsters.
Li Yu'an opened the kettle in his hand and poured it on his face. The cold water splashed on his face, and his head, which was almost fainted by the stench of the corpse, felt better a little.
Because of his action, the magic sword across his neck inevitably scratched his neck, but Liang Chongyue had no intention of stopping.
The second brother is not a good person, but the eldest brother cannot be considered a fool, he is just not very smart.
"Tens of thousands of military uniforms. It's not easy to make Daxia uniforms. There are armor at the joints. This princess sees that the uniforms above look like the real thing. Where did Second Brother get the money?"
After the scumbag father had more children, it was no longer like before. Even if the royal heir was born to an unfavored concubine, no one in the palace dared to neglect him.
There are so many children in the palace now that Zhaoyang Palace can no longer accommodate them. Even if an unfavored concubine gives birth to a child, it is difficult for her to gain status as a mother by having a child.
